She's making this way too complicated. It's NOT tricky at all. Just get an index fund. Avoid active funds because fees are too high. Even Morningstar reports fees are a better predictor of performance than their star system.

,Well, for a total noob (knowing zero) that is still the safest path... As the person gets to know more about investing, well then trending the markets with a Self-Directed RRSP (Canada) / 401K (in USA), is the way to go. Right now the money to be made is in Precious Metals and Oil investing. There's also buying physical Silver & Gold. But, the Mutual Fund thing is still totally losing game. Basically, a suckers game. The commissions are just too high. It's a racket - 100%.

Investments that return 2-3% will not beat inflation. So much for your advice.

DO NOT Invest in Mutual Funds !!! They are a sad joke designed to make money for the industry (and pay out massive commissions to financial planners) unfortunately, they totally screw the small investor. You are far better off with a smaller return, insured investments, that pay lower returns (like 2 - 3%). Over the long haul, you will make more money, pay zero fees and have a safe nest-egg for retirement. Research it online... Google, Mutual Fund Rip-Off.
